Pros

The location, the clients, some people were kind and decent

Kontras

Working here is unpleasant unless you're a software engineer. The work environment is incredibly toxic, with rampant ego clashes, scapegoating, and a lack of accountability. Despite shouldering heavy responsibilities, the pay is inadequate. Witnessing such toxicity has been both shocking and demoralizing. I urge you to consider finding a new job to escape the immense stress and toxicity of this place.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback, it's greatly valued. We acknowledge the challenges that come with a fast growing company, and as such continue to invest in providing an environment for our employees to flourish in their role and career at FINBOURNE. We have big ambitions and naturally, we're not going to get everything right. But more importantly, we recognise where we need to improve and take action to make positive change. For example, we are in advanced stages of hiring an L&D Lead to help us be an even better workplace. We're constantly working on expanding our internal training programmes, career development, learning opportunities and conduct thorough salary benchmarking exercises to ensure we offer competitive pay.

Pros

Some smart colleagues Product fundamentally sound but incredibly complex and not ready for deployment

Kontras

Uninspiring, mercurial leadership with a bit of an ivory tower mentality. No clear ICP has been identified. As a result sales will make bold promises, which are not easy to deliver. Very few live clients. No clearly defined product roadmap. Product leadership will ultimately be undone by their sheer arrogance. Lack of transparency - most startups have monthly/quarterly town halls. Finbourne would schedule them and then cancel last minute.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we appreciate the candid reflections. Some of the challenges you’ve highlighted including the need for greater transparency, clarity around our product roadmap and more structured communication are not lost on us. These are areas we are actively working to improve. While we remain confident in our core technology and the talent of our team, we also acknowledge that scaling a business from start-up to growth stage requires change in how we operate, how we lead, and how we communicate. It's work in progress but the goal is to build not just great technology, but a sustainable business that is built to last. HR Team

Pros

Hard working, knowledgeable engineers being driven insane by work hours and a bad product

Kontras

The product doesn't work, and leadership is not taking care to ensure that everything is tested before go-lives, or that there is enough staff to support a growing number of angrier and angrier clients.

We're sorry to hear that this was your experience and we appreciate you taking the time to share it, even when it's difficult to read. We’re proud of the dedication and talent of our engineering team and understand how demanding the past period has been. The pressure on teams, especially during times of rapid growth and change has at time been challenging and in hindsight, there are things we could have done better to ease that burden and support our people more effectively. You've raised valid concerns around resourcing, testing, and go-live readiness. As our client base has grown, we've at times found ourselves stretched and we know that’s not sustainable. We’re actively investing in strengthening our engineering capacity, improving internal processes and ensuring that quality and scalability remain front and centre as we continue to grow. We're not where we want to be yet, but we are taking measured steps to reduce fire-fighting, build in more forward planning and support a healthier work-life balance for our teams. HR Team
